Processing rules:

The Bow must be the central part of theme
No colleges or overly artsy fartsy images.
No double or multiple images (HDR is an exception)
Absolutely no nudity of any kind. I'm not a prude, but lets keep it clean and largely non sexual.
No violence. hate, demeaning, or otherwise disturbing and objectionable photo's
No snapshots, you know, like a vacation shot of junior standing on the bow of a ship or playing a violin in a crowded school auditorium.
No borders, watermarks, signatures, let the photo stand on its own merits.
OK too;
HDR your image to death
Saturate, desaturate as much as you want.
Use your creative juices without getting too artsy fartsy.
.
Artsy Fartsy (meaning)
1. vulgar (slang)
2. obviously or overly artistic; effete. (Mildly offensive.)
.
I have the final say as to what is rejected.

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

Be creative, think outside the box.
Make this a challenge not to enter the prettiest photo, but something that stands out, regardless if it is perfect, sharp, fuzzy, whispy, whatever.
Describe what the image is, where it was taken, possibly what you were thinking when you took it.
In judging the challenge, please think of all of the above.
I really want the entries to not be the typical coffee table book type, but rather something that makes a person stop for a moment
